Lately, however, there has not been much traction mainstream wise, just on a few blogs here and there such as ViperChill and Charles Floate.

Even with their light coverage off using PBN’s to conquer SEO and Link Building efforts, many bloggers are simply left out in the dust wondering if they should or not.

However, what about affiliate marketers that are looking to market their affiliate products for commission?

Surely there’s a way to let Private Blog Networks do all the work for you right?

Well; Whether you’re a blogger, social media manager, or affiliate marketer I’m going to outline everything there is to know about PBN’s (Private Blog Networks), along with whether you should use them personally or not.

Warning: All information provided in this article shall be used at your own risk. PBN’s better known as Private Blog Networks can lead to websites being de-indexed, blacklisted, and flagged for spam via MX mail delivery.

What are Private Blog Networks (PBN’s)?

Private Blog Networks or PBN’s are networks of smaller blogs that funnel traffic back to a specific web property, usually this would be an affiliate money site.

Although this can, in fact, be done for any website, and has shown to bring about many SEO benefits if done correctly, it can also cause massive penalties and de-indexing as well.

Below is a quick visualization of what a super basic Private Blog Network setup would be (yes I draw like a 5-year-old):

What is a PBN Site?

PBN sites are sites that are set up to only serve one particular purpose, provide traffic and/or SEO benefit to another website with similar niche and audience reach.

Normally such blogs will have limited content and pages.

This would include the essentials such as an about us page, contact page, and terms.

Blog and/or homepage content would be drip fed up to 5 articles at a time.

This is to maintain a normal flow of content without making things seem unnatural to SERPs from the likes of Google and such.

Founded with some variant of an expired domain, these sites are to keep a low profile hosting wise and maintain a diverse link profile just as any other blog/site would.

What is a PBN Link?

PBN links are known to be links that come directly from any website or blog attached to a private blog network.

Many times such links are paid for, ranging from 5 posts for $40 to entire networks built around your web property for upwards of $2500.

Such links can often bring in huge amounts of traffic and even SEO benefits if provided by reputable sources (see below).

How to Build a Private Blog Network

As mentioned above, paying to have a private blog network built is an option.

An option I would highly recommend any affiliate looking to take if needing such solutions.

That being said one “can” simply be made via your own efforts.

Doing so, on the other hand, can be costly, risky, and downright time consuming if you’re unsure as to what to do.

Remember; Search engines such as Google heavily frown upon such websites.

Especially when said websites or “networks” are being used to game their search engines.

Below I’ll run down some resources that provide such services along with how to setup, host and maintain such networks through software.

PBN Services

PBN Services as a whole can be seriously hit or miss, depending on how they have created and the cost of maintaining them.

I’m probably not the best resource in terms of pricing to performance measures, but I know being able to manage my blog here at MyaSeo only cost me around $150 a month.

So to put this in perspective; As a rule of thumb, you should never pay more than what you already pay to be website even on a volume basis.

This also doesn’t mean going out and finding the cheapest service you can find either.

Without proper measures put into place, your private blog network will be taken down faster that “NSFW” gifs.

All that aside, and pending you do actually find a reputable service, this can potentially be a great solution for those who may not have the time or expertise to build such a network from scratch.

Just be sure to check the reviews from “reputable” sources before purchasing. A be on the lookout for claims that just seem to good to be true (most of the time they are).

Blogging Networks

Blogging networks over the years have taken many different forms. From simple web 2.0 websites that are interlinked together to full PBN sites that all share a common goal or agenda.

For the purpose of this post, let’s focus on those that offer PBN sites access.

The way this works is simple really.

All websites belonging to this “Network” will have set rules to follow.

This could be from certain hosting plans that must be used, specific backlinking guidelines, to simple funneling traffic back and forth for quick AdSense revenue (which is a horrible idea btw).

The point of such “Networks” is to take the guesswork out of how your web property will receive traffic, links, and subscribers.

However, the problem here lies in you not having direct control over what is being linked to your property and what is not.

For example; You may simply want to gain a few relevant backlinks to keep up with your competition, however, you didn’t plan on having 5,000 bot visitors a month along with it.

TLD; Don’t use Blogging Networks unless each and every webmaster involved are all on the same page or personal colleagues of yours. Any other way will be a waste of time or a penalty waiting to happen.

Available/Pre-Existing Blog Networks to Join

Finding a Public Blog Network

Although it pains me to say this, “Just Google It”! There’s 100’s upon 1,000’s of sites looking to have you join their PBN or Blogging Network.

It’s up to you to do your research to see if this method works best for you or not.

Just as I did not run down the exact steps on how to create a PBN (not my thing so why lead you down a rabbit hole), I’ll not sit here and run down a list of sites offering this (as I’ve never used one).

If nothing else I say here sinks in, please do yourself a huge favor and DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST! Because if anything happens it WILL be YOUR FAULT, NOT THE SERVICES USED.

The Best PBN Facebook Group

So I lied, kill me. There is one source that I am truly comfortable with, as he has never lead me astray. That source by chance? Charles Floate’s PBN Advice & Facebook Group of course!

To learn more feel free to check him out above.

If you’re lucky enough you may even receive a group invite before it closes its doors!

Should You Start using Private or Personal Blog Networks?

We’ll that all depends on “YOU” really.

If you’re like me, a novice when it comes to PBN structure and scared of getting a Google Penalty, then I’d say pass!

Especially if the one web property looking to be used is the only source of income and promotion, I’d have to say pass as well. Focus those efforts to fully conquer SEO head on.

However, if you are an experienced affiliate marketer looking to test out new waters, then I say check out what PBN’s have to offer! Not like those affiliate links can’t just be changed out?

In the end, the choice is simply up to you. Just be smart, and as always….

Like this:

So what I have to share today takes a stand against modern day slavery.

Okay, maybe that’s a bit much? But how else am I to explain it?

We either spend all our time working for some corporation that “capitalizes” from our time and effort spent serving their needs, or find ourselves unable to work due to poor economic reasons or “unsatisfactory” backgrounds.

My point?

We spend too much time making others rich… when we should be making ourselves!

Below I’m going to show you how to break those chains.

Those same chains I myself had to realize needed to be broken in order for me to truly be happy. To truly be “free”.

List Building

There is no real value or point in having an email list if you do not actively build it.

Not doing so will only lead to much frustration, low post view counts within your chosen analytics reporting, and no active social or comment engagement.

People online are just like those in real life, this means you must actively “engage” them as you “build” with them.

This requires you understand the To-Do and Do-Not’s of list building as outlined below.

Many may argue that single opt-in works best for them, however, the studies don’t lie.

If looking to be worry free, save yourself the headache of a frozen email marketing account down the line.

Even worse having your IP blacklisted.

Re-Targeting Visitors

Visitors come and go.

Seriously; In that order.

So why not have a way to send them back to those same pages they checked out before?

In most cases, they did not read or complete that piece of content.

Or maybe they did and forgot to subscribe to your newsletter?

In any event or lack thereof, we would love it if they would.

This is were using services like Facebook’s Custom Audiences really can make a huge difference, whether looking to gain traffic or new subscribers, the options are there.

In it’s prime, re-targeting has been known to provide super high conversion rates when looking to gain quick masses of subscribers to your email list.

Even if looking to boost your traffic, there are numerous guides available showing how to positively leverage Facebook for high traffic gains.

Freebie Offers & Lead Magnets

If lead magnets are the new landing page, then freebie offers are like Ford.

My point? Use them… use them often!

Just like Ford’s take on the pickup truck, for example, it has been proven time and time again that freebie offers higher opt-in rates.

So why would you miss out on all those possible leads or even better subscribers to your latest newsletter?

Such possibilities can easily be gained by simply adding an exit intent pop-up or landing page for a free eBook download to your website.

Many people find themselves wishing this was implemented way further down the line. Don’t wait until the traffic comes to get such things sorted out.

Do yourself and/or business a favor and offer visitors something worth their time, such as a worth wild case study or blueprint to some issue they may be running into.

Providing something that can only be used in specific situations should be saved for use via lead magnets.

Lead Magnets offer the chance to provide your visitors an extra bang for their opt-in, going hand and hand with the great piece of content it has been added to.

A great example of this would be offering a lead magnet of 10 top web 2.0 websites within a post on your blog about building seo friendly backlinks.

Although this small bit of information may seem small or incremental to you personally, think about how long it took for you to research and find it.

By cutting that gap of time for your audience and providing their sought after solutions, they more than not are willing to see what other pieces of content you may have to offer.

Affiliate Marketing

As any real internet marketer will admit, affiliate marketing is a great way to earn a commission from your blogging and/or social media efforts.

This especially becomes true when not having the start-up funds to create and produce your own products that customers will enjoy and benefit from.

It allows data to be collected to see what interest your audience the most as well.

There are just so many great benefits to affiliate marketing if you take the time to learn proper ways to promote your offers and remember to respect those being sold to.

Gaining Traffic to Offers

Speaking of those being sold to, getting traffic to offers happens to be the spark that will eventually ignite the flame (conversions).

Without it, you will never see any commissions.

There are numerous ways this can be done, but in order to see the biggest impact, you must position yourself as an authority on whatever subject your product offers cover.

Doing so will allow for many things to take place.

Most notably, however; It will allow for your audience to gain exposure to what is being offered in a genuine way.

A way that instills trust, brand loyalty, and fandom that will help spread the word.

Conversion & Click Rates

Once traffic has started to flow and all your lead capture, automation, and RSS feeds have been delivered on a consistent basis, it’s time to optimize those conversions via click rate and open rate data.

Taking that extra time to see what emails and opt-in forms are performing the lowest will make all the difference in the long run on how sustainable your income will be.

Starting out can be tough, but with some great A/B split testing and delivery time management, your conversion and click rates will slowly rise in no time at all.

Analyzing & Collecting Data

Once you have really gotten the basics down packed and are seeing steady income, it’s most definitely time to analyze what is working and scale using that data collected.

A great example of how this collected data can be formed is by adding a segmentation to your email list.

Taking the time to ask new subscribers what they are truly interested based off 4 sub-categories centered around your blog or products website can make all the difference.

Now those new subscribers have the ability to only see content that is geared toward them via your automation emails being delivered.

Something so advanced yet so simple is really all it takes to take your conversion rates to the next level and provided a great lasting income if done correctly over time.

“Living off the List”

For many aspiring marketers, SEO’s, & bloggers living off their email list would be a dream come true.

That’s the thing, though, this dream can become a reality as long as the time is taken to follow the correct steps.

This means not skipping steps, such as ordering cheap backlinks off Fiver or spamming other blogs for referral traffic.

Taking the time to learn and grow will create a very compound effect, longevity.

Being Your Own Boss

Just think about it for a second…

How would it feel to make a days income while your sleeping? Or to wake up and start working on a new project “You” decided you’d like to complete?

Well, all those things can be true and so much more!

Unlike any other profession I’ve seen, blogging and especially affiliate marketing allows you the freedom to make the money you desire.

It takes time, patience, along with investment personal and financial, but in the end, the rewards are well worth it.

Letting the Money Flow

Armed with your new found affiliate marketing success, what would you like to do with your long-term commissions?

Or maybe you have “Insider Secrets” that could help us all get there with you?

Feel free to share your thoughts and much more in the comments below! And if you liked this article always remember: “Sharing is Caring”!

Take it from someone who’s worked at an email marketing company directly, those results can vary heavily depending on the amount of thought and attention put into each email.

Allowing your leads the”choice” to subscribe provides a list, with the right approach, that will lead to them becoming your following.

Successful Long-Term Effects on Growth & ROI

Doing things in coherence with the way things currently are will lead to growth and success in know time.

It simply takes a time to learn the correct way to go about building your web properties.

Anyone can make a website and sell something, however, there’s a reason only a few actually get to see the long-term ROI online marketing can provide.

“Secret Sauce” to Harnessing Success

Social Media’s Role in Affiliate Marketing

Social media’s role in affiliate marketing has come a long way since the days when JV sources such as ClickBank first open their doors.

Promoting products, especailly those that are not directly produces or created by you, require a special layer of personal touch…

Trust.

Better than any other medium, social media allows anyone to create a following.

Building that following means that you have earned the trust and hearts of others who now look to follow and help promote your product, brand, and/or cause.

Take for example Sam Hurley, argueably one of the greatest social influencers of this generation, is able to comfortably ably make a living simply promoting the best content the web has to offer via Twitter.

Why Repurpose Content Already Used?

The honest reason, because it works! Did I mention it’s also free? So why would you not, only to have that content sit around. The more views and readers any successful piece of content receives will only help your online brand management or affiliate marketing efforts down the line.

The more views and readers any successful piece of content receives will only help your online brand management or affiliate marketing efforts down the line.

Think about it. How great would it feel to get another 100 even 1000 eyes on your latest affiliate product? Or maybe even gain another 50 to 100 social shares for brand awareness?

The point here is that the sky is the limit when it comes to repurposing that older content that once had it’s run with the masses. So repurpose content with a purpose, not just to do so.

Reusing Content via Social Media

Social media happens to be top on my list of easy ways to repurpose content. Ever needed to repurpose blog post? Try creating an infographic and sharing via Buffer to your social channels.

Unlike other mediums, social media shows the great benefits of repurposing content right from the start. Pending you already have a nice sized following on any given particular social channel.

Best thing is there are various ways to repurpose your video content while solving that question of how to repurpose old content all at the same time. Only social media offers such flexibility in promotion instantly to a large volume audience.

Trust me on this one, if you haven’t been scheduling your old blog post to be re-posted to your social channels you’ve been greatly missing out on a lot of extra traffic.

Redistributing Content for Affiliate Marketing

No real point in distributing content on a repeated basis unless you’re looking to promote something. Even if that’s for money or just for personal pleasure and/or success.

Now that we have that out the way, affiliate marketing happens to be another great medium to redistribute content previously published. The key here is keeping things relevant for those involved.

One of the biggest facts about repurposing content happens to lie withing the end result. Each time a piece of content is distributed it takes on a whole new opportunity to reach a new audience.

Just because one of your blog subscribers has read a review post of yours about SEOPressor, that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t also like to read a comparison on SEOPressor vs Yoast SEO.

Blogger and Social Outreach Simplified

Ever needed to send a good old outreach email to amplify a new piece of content you just published but couldn’t find the right piece of content to attach as an example?

Instead of looking for clever ways to pitch the new piece of content, maybe there’s an older blog post or article used that may have mentioned that influential figure your outreaching too.

By adding that small piece of value to them via your outreach email, they’ll be more willing to acknowledge your request if everything else adds up.

All in all, it’s simple; Be sure to add value to any outreach done by providing repurposed content. Just ensure that the content being repurposed happens to also mention who’s being outreached too.

The Content is Available, So Don’t Waste It!

The point here is simple. Don’t waste good content that could be repurposed into great content!!!

From social media, infographics, forum post like Reddit, blogger outreach, to even affiliate marketing. There’s always a case where content can be used once more.

Try finding ways to repurpose everyday items around the house or at work (if you’re still doing that). See what it means to allow your mind to find new meaning for something that’s a little outdated.

In the end, you’ll find that using the methods presented above will only help boost traffic back to whatever medium used for the repurposing. So strive to do so regularly and purposefully.

Analyzing Successful Headlines can be a real pain if you’ve never done so before. This is where topical research and help from CoSchedule’s Headline Analyzer comes in handy.

Creating clickable headlines has become more difficult than ever. Especially when factoring in various algorithm changes, vast competition, and little keyword availability.

We’ve all had those moments when a great piece of content under performs. Many times this can directly correlate to the headline produced rather than the content presented.

Below I’ll uncover my secret weapon to Analyze Successful Headlines. Including how I’m able to cut my content creation time in half, all while crafting Uber-Successful Headlines.

Analyzing & Creating Successful Blog Headlines

The process of creating successful headlines start with analyzing key factors. Those include incorporating common, powerful, emotional, and even uncommon words.

Creating clickable headlines form from fusing all 4 of these types of words together. CoSchedule has found through research, that this format provides the highest quality and readability.

Because of this, they have also created their very own Headline Analyzer, which also comes included within their WordPress Plugin.

From word count too subject relevancy, every aspect of your headline will be analyzed. Once you type in any given headline, you will be provided a number up to 100. Anything over 70 will be highlighted in green symbolizing a good headline overall.

Analyzing the data provided will help you better see if the headline created is a good fit for your article. If not, improve on some of the areas shown to be weak or over optimized as seen below.

Creating Successful Automation Email Headlines

Creating a successful email headline all starts with competitive research. By analyzing your competitor’s email swipes, you’ll quickly see what catchy phrases are raking in the big bucks.

Click rates are the name of the game here. Only by following your chosen email marketing software analytics will you spot which headlines are worth sticking with long term.

Your list will be sure to let you know of headlines they find unattractive or spammy by not clicking them or even worse highlighting your email as spam.

Knowing this, it’s always best practice to stay away from overly spammy words. These include free, limited time, check this out, click here, etc. It’s always better to be safe than sorry in this regard.

Having your domains IP address blacklisted will stop all delivery of emails as well. So practice providing your list with original and unique headlines they will love to click, not place in spam.

Profile Headlines for Forums, Listings, & Directories

Profile headlines are a whole different ball game. They require time spent studying the community they will be displayed within. Not doing so will only prove why failure is good for success.

Using the CoSchedule Headline Analyzer will be your best friend once such research has been completed. The results will directly be seen once your profile view count starts to rise.

Another great way to create a killer headline for your forum profile would be to write articles on achieving success. Once created, try using those headlines as your forum profile headline.

Directly after, post those same articles as the first forum post you provide. Providing such examples of success in life will position you as an authority earlier on within that community.

Crafting Social Media Headlines for Facebook & Twitter

Crafting social media headlines for Facebook or even Twitter can be challenging. Just as becoming successful in life, however, a strong positive attitude for success will be needed.

Many times a simple tweet or post about attitude and leadership success can go a long way. Even if your niche has nothing to do with this, everyone (especially those online) could use something positive once in a while.

Just as with the advice provided above, it will take some time to master which headlines produce the most engagement. Using a service such as Buffer can greatly reduce that time, though.

Many will argue using HootSuite vs CoSchedule, however, only CoSchedule offers a direct headline analyzer. In many cases, I would argue to only use one or the other until the need calls for both.

The Most Successful Headlines Shared & Clicked

Every successful headline ever shared and/or clicked all have one thing in common. They grab the attention of those seeking help by acknowledging their issue and providing a solution.

Let’s take for example the headline “Things to do to be Successful”. Now if someone is looking to be more successful in general, this may appeal to them.

That being said, what if they are looking to be successful in something more direct, like parenting. In that case, this article will never truly catch their attention.

Instead, they would be more inclined to click on a headline that reads “How to be more Successful at Raising your Angry Teen”. The difference being this appeals to a direct target audience.

In today’s burn and churn marketing landscape, many new marketers are missing the point of targeting a direct audience within their niche.

Not doing so will lead to horrible click rates and no interest in your content, whether social or directly via your website or blog.

The takeaway here is simple. Always strive to analyze successful headlines within your niche before hand. Doing so will allow you to produce uber successful headlines no matter what platform.

Also remember, using CoSchedules Headline Analyzer (which is free) will always make this task much easier. To learn more, feel free to click the image below. Hope you enjoyed!
